That would either be a reporter that didn’t know what they were talking about or a witness that wasn’t sure what they saw.

I wonder what kind of "Homemade diving equipment " he had and if it contributed to his death.

It said his homemade equipment was found in the boat so I guess it was some type of hookah system?

Homemade diving equipment? Alabama creek with tons of dead trees and debri on the bottom to get caught up in? Ultra dangerous.
